I'm still juming military rounds (MC1 & MC6). Any chance that one of these jump planes has a static line hook up spot and I can exit on the way up high ... say about 1500"????

Re: The Texas Fun Jump
First off, you need to go make an Intro thread telling us a little about yourself, what units, training, etc... Second off, (I know it's a long thread), but a few pages back it was said that there would be no static line jumps this time around. The first two times they were Jump Mastered by a pretty cool guy that is a Nam Vet.Originally Posted by musketchris
Now beat your boots and upon recovery go make an Intro thread.

Sorry douchenutz. My carcass will most likely not be making the journey.
At best I would show up for a cameo appearance for a few hours.

Re: The Texas Fun Jump
Got it, intro made ... let me know if anyone is interested in the round chutes, I stay current as jumper, JM, and can run BARs. Got gear to SL out of about anything that can get over 1250'. Resisting the urge to "sqare up", round aircraft and DZ are harder to find, but can't seem to make the switch ....
Anyway, interested if the opprotunity presents itself.
Also, live in the San Antonio area, so anyone wanting to get together down here for some "barley pop", let me know.

I would love to jump a round, kind of miss those days. Actually I would love to jump a square too, but short on time and cash.

Re: The Texas Fun Jump
Perfect....I won't be there until around dinner on Friday. I was hoping I wouldn't miss the jump. I am borrowing a new lens specifically for this

Re: The Texas Fun Jump
Wait, I don't jump out of perfectly good working planes, so I have a question - is hitting the cement patch good or bad? (It sounds bad, but I guess it could be good)
Sounds like I should bring my video camera as well for digital comic relief for the whole forum.
